In PNG, all women wear the same style of dress called meri blaus that covers the curve of the body. I like to wear meri blaus. All my meri blaus have been made by Christa since we met each other in a story camp and became good friends in 2014. She came to Wewak on Monday and made this meri blaus for me. It took her only few hours to make one. I will wear this meri blaus of PNG flag on Saturday, the 48th anniversary of Independence Day of PNG.

在新幾內亞，所有的女生都穿同一款式把身體曲線蓋住的裙裝，叫做“女上衣”。我蠻喜歡穿這種衣服。自從2014年我在一個故事營認識克莉絲塔成為好友之後，我所有的女上衣都是她做給我的。星期一她來威瓦克，花了幾個小時就又為我做了一件。星期六將是新幾內亞48年獨立紀念日，我要穿上這件國旗女上衣。 

Christa is a teacher in the church, conducting and teaching youth camps and women’s camps in quite a few cities in PNG. When I first got to know her, I saw her do all the paper work in hand-writing. In 2015, I gave her a used computer, spent an evening teaching her how to make a document with WORD, and persuaded her that she must turn all her paper work into digitals. The result is that not only has she been able to do so but she also has taught numerous people and made them able to work with computers.
克莉絲塔是教會裡的一名教師，在新幾內亞的好幾個城市籌辦並教導青年營會及婦女營會。我剛認識她時，看到她所有的文書工作都是手寫的。2015年，我給她一台二手電腦，花一個晚上教她使用文書軟體WORD，並且說服她把所有的文書資料都做成電子檔。結果是，不但她自己做到了，她還教會很多人使用電腦完成工作。

Hoping Christa would have more income, I taught her how to make purses while I was cooking on Tuesday morning. She is such a good learner that it took her only 3 hours to learn to make two purses. Her sewing is the best I have ever seen in PNG. After lunch, we took her to town. That allowed her to do some shopping before she took the last bus to the boat she was taking. May God bless His hard-working and faithful servant.

我希望能幫助克莉絲塔增加收入，星期二早上一邊做飯一邊教她做小錢包。她真的很厲害，三個小時就學做了兩款小錢包。她的做工是我在新幾內亞看過最好的。午餐後我們送她到鎮上，讓她可以採購一下然後搭最後一班車去搭船。願上帝賜福與祂這位勤奮又忠心的僕女。
